Bread Factory Cafe

I had really good memories of the bread factory from my first trip to NYC. I am both lactose intolerant and vegetarian, so I do not eat cheese. I ordered an amazing veggie wrap w/o cheese. When I visited NYC again, I went here during their busy Saturday lunch hour, with my boyfriend. He ordered straight off the menu, but when I tried to order my veggie wrap w/o cheese, I was told it was not possible to make. I asked why, and did not receive a satisfactory answer as to why leaving on ingrediant off a wrap woild make it "impossible to make." I didn't end up eating lunch here that day! It was a disappointing experiance.

A great place for delivery, and breakfast anytime, love their western omlette. Yum. And not expensive at all!

Until recently I would go out of my way to get the real bagels from The Bread Factory. Unfortunately, according to my inside source AND my tastebuds - they are now outsourced and are, like many other pretenders - just bagle-shaped baked bread. The flavours are spot on, but the texture - that specual chewiness bagel-lovers crave is nonexistent. They now really live up to the name because the stuff tastes like it was made in a factory. However, as far as Lexington Ave./east 60's this is one of the better places for a variety of food items.

My family and I were starving and stopped at this place for lunch. I had the salami sandwich (excellent) and the girls had the burgers (real good) and the dessert was even better (Strawberry Cheese Cake, Oriole Cake, and Bread Pudding Cake was great! The cookies were not so good!!) The cook was real friendly (little English) but the person at the cash register was cold and not very friendly. The only negative part of the place was the seating extremely uncomfortable and everybody on top of you. When the door opened up it was very cold. I would go again and buy the food and eat outside on a nice day but don't eat inside the place not a nice experience.

I live about 3 blocks south of this place and love the ability to be able to order online, not have to deal with anyone, pay by credit card (including the tip)...this is all fabulous when you're hungover and not in the mood for going out to brunch. Always delivered fast, food always warm - omelettes are great (so much food with the potatoes too). Pancackes are good too, but skip the juice as this is often just tropicana overpriced.

i might have just been there on an off night, but the two desserts we ordered were mediocre. the carrot cake was stale, including the frosting. we also had a cannoli and the filling was a really strange texture...almost like putty!

Our family loves Bread Factory's pizza. Isn't it ironic how the best pizza in the neighborhood does not come from a pizzeria. Make no mistake - the best Pizza in the neighborhood comes from Bread Factory Cafe! Turnopi loves it!
